Cookies not being read

[guymclaren]

Creating of cookie is done on numerous pages.

 

I have tried letting the system create the cookie without adding the url, I tried the following

 

$coid = $_COOKIE["affiliate"];
if ($coid == NULL) {
$myid = $_GET['aff'];
			if ($myid != NULL){
			setcookie("affiliate","$myid", time()+5184000,"webtech.co.za");
			setcookie("affiliate","$myid", time()+5184000,"www.webtech.co.za");
		} 
}

 

It creates both cookies so in theory it should not matter whether they are using www or not, I also tried .webtech.co.za

 

The problem is the following code on an order page does not read the cookie or give any results.

 

$coid = $_COOKIE["affiliate"];
	$aff = $coid;
$fname = $_REQUEST['fname'];
	if ($fname != NULL) {

 

I am tearing my hair out, PHP hates me, but I cannot cope with MIcrosofts bullshit ASP anymore, please help?

Just to add $coid shows a null value despite the existence of the cookie

You need to set the path too. And use ".webtech.co.za" to make it compatible with more browsers:

 

<?php
setcookie('affiliate', "$myid", time() + 5184000, '/', '.webtech.co.za');
?>
